<b>Kasia Kuczyñska</b> - designer
<br>
On the blog written by Katarzyna Kuczyñska you will learn about designers life from the inside. She&#8217;s responsible for implementing main story in &#8220;The Witcher&#8221;. You&#8217;ll learn what &#8220;crunch time&#8221; is, you&#8217;ll read about the secrets of creating individual acts in the game, secrets of game designer&#8217;s work and about many curiosities connected with creating &#8220;The Witcher&#8221;.
<br>
<br>
<b>Daniel Sadowski</b> - engine programmer
<br>
What&#8217;s going on in &#8220;The Witcher&#8221; &#8211; i.e. producing the game from the point of view of a programmer. What is the legendary RED Aquarium? What&#8217;s its story and who are its inhabitants? How were various game elements made? Who is the most savage table footballer? These and many more questions will be answered on Daniel Sadowski&#8217;s blog.

<br>
<b>Piotr Chomiak</b> - senior animator
<br>
Peep at RED&#8217;s graphic artists&#8217; work! Here, you&#8217;ll learn everything about their work organisation and technical side of creating graphics and animation.

<b>£ukasz Mach</b> - PR manager
<br>
Anarchist armed forces of CD Projekt RED. A bit about &#8220;The Witcher&#8221;, a bit about the author, a bit about author&#8217;s relation to &#8220;The Witcher&#8221; (say what???). Totally non-PR blog of a PR guy working on &#8220;The Witcher&#8221; project. No waffling on, no publicity, no nothing&#8230; or something like that&#8230; ha ha.
<br>
<br>
<b>Piotr Szymañski</b> - QA specialist
<br>
If you think, that a tester&#8217;s life is playing &#8220;The Witcher&#8221; 8 h/day, my blog will probably free your minds from this erroneous idea. The whole truth about game testing, which is peculiar survival in the abyss of a developers studio, served with a right pinch of irony and black humour, under the &#8220;grey&#8221; RED reality dressing.

Yeah, BG was a hardcore RPG, especially compared to the casual shite like Realms of Arkania, Wizardry, and Darklands.

If you cannot get into Mass Effect n Dragon Age, perhaps RPG's are not you're stuff? Or give Oblivion a try, Bethesda usualy made there games for casual players not like Bioware that stickies to more hardcore oldschool RPG mecanics of deep, engrossing storylines and character delvopement.

That's funny, in Germany, the stereotype is that Poles are thieves and steal everything, but especially your car. [On a more positive side-note, they're also regarded as cheap and highly devoted and efficient workers. Polish carpenters >>>> German carpenters. They might steal your stuff but they'll get done in an hour what German carpenters need three for, for a third of the price!]]

Congrats to CD Projekt devs for the successful completion and release of the Witcher. They really do deserve a nice long rest over the holidays.

On a side note, it is very heartwarming to see people of three nationalities getting along nicely together, under the communal RPG interests and of course fluent use of English, sort of epitome of borrowed language if there was ever one.

That's funny, in Russia, we don't have any stereotypes concerning Poles or Germans. Weird.

You're just lying man...

Some people here don't like Poles, I won't deny it. But the same people usually dislike/hate Germans, Americans, Chinese, Jews and Caucasians as well, so you guys aren't getting any special treatment. But hey, every country has its share of ignorant assholes, right?

So they're kinda like the Mexicans of Europe?

I do have to say that their women are more attractive than Germany's though. Did anyone see Germany's Women's World Cup team this past year? The refs should've done a crouch squeeze on each of em to make sure none were packing pork & beans. Because I'm almost certain a couple of them were.
